(DR.FUKUMI MORISHIGE'S OBSERVATIONS ON USE OF GANODERMA)
GANODERMA: POSITIVE CANCER TREATMENTS (improved immune system & blood circulation)


A doctor once said, "Cancer is a serious disease, but it is not fatal. Patients have a good chance to recover." This statement sounds conciliatory but based on recent research data, it can very well be true. The prestigious Japanese doctor, Dr Fukumi Morishige, M.D.,PhD., currently involved in the research of ganoderma (which he refers to here as reishi)'s role in cancer control, is a researcher at the Linus Pauling Institute of Science & Medicine - an American institute that has been awarded the most Nobel prizes. He also occupies an important role in Europe's medical field as well, and is the only Japanese authority employed by the international cancer group. The following is a speech (edited slightly to account for translation difficulties) he made in 1987 detailing his case reports on ganoderma and cancer:



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dr. Fukumi Morishigi, MD, PhD:

I have been a surgeon for 37 years and have performed numerous operations. I had a keen interest in surgery especially when I was young but gradually questions began to appear. I always felt that the ideal would be to induce the natural immunity power within oneself.

Being a surgeon, I had countless occasions to encounter cancer cases; however, the key to cancer control is in its early detection which is easier said than done. About one in a hundred would be considered a good percentage.

Nowadays, regular physical check-ups is the trend and this is good practice, but we have to realize that one cannot let our guards down just because cancer was not detected at the time of check-ups. People often suspect the physicians of misdiagnosing when cancer is detected at a later date. This notion is incorrect as there are many undiscovered cases even with monthly check-ups. For example, in the case of penetrance type stomach cancer, it is one of the most difficult to detect and these account for about 25% of the cases, therefore, prevention is equally important.

It is better to employ preventive measures in the case of cancer but, there are no set methods. One can always rely on dietary control, but here again it is not a prescribed regimen. The best method at the present is reishi. I did not know of its amazing effects until after I had used it myself, and I was truly surprised by it. During my practice, I have obtained outstanding results using reishi either as preventive measures or during the course of treatments.

Earlier on, I had come across patients and their relatives praising the merits of reishi. But being a medical person, I thought that it might have a slight effect on certain chronic diseases but it's presumed effects on cancer, surely, must be greatly exaggerated.

Reishi's tremendous effect warrants further studies:

This fact now calls for new consideration on my part; when a person recovers from cancer by undergoing no other treatment but reishi ingestion, it is obvious that reishi deserves further research.

I was provided with large quantities of reishi essence by Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd. of Japan. I administered the same measured amounts to my patients in mega dosage combined with Vitamin C. Within one year, about 500 kilograms of reishi essence (approximately 6000 kilograms of premium reishi) was used on my patients. An interesting fact that surfaced during my treatment is that where large doses of reishi essence induce melena ( i.e. several grams or more daily), combination with Vitamin C put a stop to this. Furthermore, numerous observations have confirmed the fact that cancer patients are generally more susceptible to contract other diseases due to their lowered body resistance, however, after being treated with reishi, complications due to such infections are greatly diminished.

I have assigned random cancer patients to administer reishi essence with a control group of patients with other illness, e.g. arthritic rheumatism, chronic bronchitis, hepatitis etc., that is, people with lowered body resistance to diseases. Immunoglobulin test determines the level of immunity. We have found that after ingesting reishi, level of IgA, IgG, IgM have increased. This proves that reishi can elevate the body's resistance level.

At this time, I have 140 cancer patients. All have metastasis cancer except 6 with breast cancer and 60 are being hospitalized. We have zeroed in on these cancer patients. Up to today (Spring of 1988), about 300 patients have underwent testing.

WHY IS REISHI EFFECTIVE AGAINST CANCER: POLYSACCHARIDES

Before I give case examples, I would like to unveil the secret of why reishi is so effective in the treatment of cancer. This conclusion is not fully understood at the present time and when it is, then, man will have found the ultimate cure for cancer. Employing all the latest medical technology, it is found that the polysaccharides in reishi are effective in suppressing cancerous cells. Japanese scientists are the first in making this discovery. Perhaps this had something to do with the fact that the country employs herbal medicine in treatment of diseases and conducts vigorous researches into polysaccharides. This fact is finally recognized in North America and is awaiting further findings from such Japanese researches.

WHY POLYSACCHARIDES IN REISHI ARE EFFECTIVE IN THE TREATMENT OF CANCER

Polysaccharides are made up of a high number of molecular components - up to millions of atoms and this makes it difficult to be absorbed into the human body system. In order to make it easily assimilated, its high count has to be lowered and using Vitamin C with reishi does just that. The polysaccharides are converted into oligoglucan that has a low molecular count and can be easily absorbed. It in turns stimulates the macrophage which triggers the immune system in our body. Macro meaning big. This type of cell can devour any foreign organisms. They are not active when the body is functioning normally, but, in the presence of foreign organisms (e.g., bacteria), they become very active in attacking such bacterial foreign matter. The white blood cells in the blood stream comprise the initial defense against diseases but they are ineffective in chronic cases or malignant types of matter, at which time, the lymphocyte becomes the second line of defense. Failing that, the last defense will be the macrophage - it is like a sleeping lion being awakened to attack with truly exceptional results! They are capable of sweeping away any foreign organisms, thus destroying the cancerous cells in the process. Under the microscope, the macrophage is observed to be one tenth the size of a cancer cell, yet, it possesses the power to destroy the latter. From this, we can understand the incredible value to the human body. However, the macrophage cannot be easily activated. We have found that aggregated atoms are responsible for this activation of the macrophage, and reishi contains the substance to manufacture these aggregated atoms.

REISHI - HIGH MOLECULAR POLYSACCHARIDES

Earlier a patient with high blood pressure had inquired into the effects of reishi. I had told him that there was certainly no harm in trying as I had conducted no research at that time. One fact is this: even a diluted dose of reishi essence lowers blood pressure. However this patient had maintained his blood pressure level after reishi ingestion. Following my suggestion to ingest Vitamin C together with reishi, his blood pressure dropped to an acceptable level. The reason for this is, as mentioned previously, reishi contains up to a million atoms and cannot be easily absorbed into the body; therefore, one should combine it with Vitamin C.

Seventeen years ago, I had conducted research into the Vitamin C's ability to break down polysaccharides. At that time, the method of viscosity gauge had been employed. In placing Vitamin C into a measure of polysaccharide substance, a decrease of the polysaccharides molecular count is indicated by a drop in the viscosity. This confirms Vitamin C's ability to dissolve polysaccharides.

Animal experiments have shown that all forms of sugar can be absorbed but is just the opposite in human, why? This has some correlation with Vitamin C - human body is unable to manufacture Vitamin C, while animals can. This is the reason why we need to combine the intake of Vitamin C with reishi.

New medical findings indicate that there is no harm in taking high dosage of Vitamin C daily. Dr. Linus Pauling, who is now in his 80's, ingests 18 grams of Vitamin C daily, and I ingest 12 grams a day. I believe a healthy person needs a supplement of 1 gram to 2 grams a day, that is 1,000 - 2,000 mg. This can contributes greatly to one's well being.

Now let us look at some reishi usage case studies:


There are many more such cancer cases in my hospital. Although cancer cases involving the brain, lungs and liver are more serious, I feel that it is easier to treat than the cases involving the digestive organs. It is harder for the patients of the latter to ingest reishi orally.

Besides cancer, reishi is also very effective in the treatment of hepatitis. With the use of 1 gram to 3 grams of reishi essence daily, hepatitis patients will have tremendous recovery results.


Reishi is just as effective against other chronic diseases and optimum results are obtained when combined with the intake of Vitamin C. Especially true for long term prevention use.

In conclusion, reishi has been proven to exert a significant effect on diminishing pain, fortifying the body's immune system and prolonging life. Even though this sounds heartening, its role in cancer control has not been determined 100 percent yet. Medications presently employed to combat cancer have their effect but unfortunately these also produce serious side effects. Reishi have a history of 3,000 years, during which time it is widely used by many people with no reported unfavorable side effects. I therefore recommend reishi for treatment and prevention as a safety measure. I hope that people from all walks of life will take a concerned interest and share in this project. Hopefully, in the very near future, reishi can bring a brighter outlook to the human race in the conquest of longevity.

NOTE: The ganoderma essence used by Dr. Morishige had been produced from premium ganoderma using the hot water extraction method. The polysaccharide content in the essence used was far higher than most other average 1987 ganoderma essence or products. DXN's products are produced using premium ganoderma that, due to Dr. Lim's research and development, has a higher value than those considered premium both in 1987 AND TODAY. DXN's ganoderma has also been concentrated all the more by a special method which removes the non-effective ingredients and leaves only the bits of mushroom that are ACTIVE in promoting your good health. It has been estimated that DXN's ganoderma extract is more than TWENTY TIMES more effective than typical ganoderma products on the market today (that may have been produced using premium but non-DXN ganoderma).
